Flea Beetles on Vegetable Crops

The corn flea beetle is the most common species found in Pennsylvania attacking field corn. Several other species can be seen, but they are seldom found in numbers high enough to cause significant injury to the crop. The pest also attacks other field crops that are grown in the state, including soybeans, sorghum, small grains, sweet corn, and several vegetable crop species (particularly those in the nightshade and cabbage families).
